Do you use standardized tests or assessment tools?

I do not administer standardized tests and personality assessments. I believe you are a unique human being and cannot be "standardized." Although assessments can be helpful in certain environments and can provide a framework for discussion, my approach is never mechanical and does not rely on tests. The Retreat is highly interactive, experiential, reflective, and fun. It will offer you many new insights and perspectives.

Will there be any follow up after the retreat?

You will gain an immense amount of knowledge, the tools for a realistic action plan, and a support system to ensure results. You will receive a free ½ hour personal consultation following the retreat to summarize all that you learned and to discuss additional insights. For those who wish to have additional support, coaching packages are available at a highly discounted rate for retreat participants.

My company is going through lots of change. Can you customize an "Authentic Career" workshop, retreat, or presentation for my company, office, or event?

Absolutely. Effective coaching saves companies time and money, and inspires and empowers employees during times of change. My clients consistently report increases in their personal satisfaction in the workplace, increases in their productivity, and increases in motivation and commitment to their organizations.
